Summary

A lazy smile formed on Caesar’s face, an expression of unadulterated love and undiluted affection. It tore at Marcus’ heart, laid claim to his entrails and ripped them straight from where they lay. It didn’t help that Caesar’s face highlighted his already prevalent good looks. The perfect Roman man, with strong features, a penchant for leadership, and a natural charisma. Rome’s deadliest weapons, all infused in one man. And that was what Marcus feared. For one day, his love for Caesar to trump his ever-shrinking duty to his people, for him to fall so blindly into the depths of love that he was willing to commit atrocities for him. Better to cut it off short, then, before he became a man he scarcely recognized.

Summary

Titinius is a person with impressive magical powers and not a lot of human attachments, but those he has are strong. Back in Syria he fell in love with Cassius, and after their reunion years later he decides to never let Cassius go again.

This AU started on tumblr, when good old “who the fuck is Titinius?” was answered with “he’s a witch”. These are parts of the story that I intend to continue; so far I’ve been avoiding writing more challenging parts (set in 53-51 and 50-43 bce). I suspect some things may not make much sense out of this yet unwritten context, but here I am. Yeet.

I regard history, rather than Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, as my canon, but this fic uses certain conventions and details from the play (such as the absence of people other that Pindarus and Titinius on the hill with Cassius; Pindarus being captured during the Parthian war).

Summary

Julius swept the younger man into an embrace, away from the prying eyes of his servants, should any come. The silver dagger gleamed menacingly as it was hidden in Marcus’ sleeves, but he returned the embrace regardless. It would be the last time he would hold the dictator while he was still alive, and he would revel in it for as long as he could.
